Business and investor protection
Not every loss belongs under business risk.
We develop and implement protection strategies for businesses and investors harmed by criminal conduct.
We represent victims before law enforcement authorities and courts in matters involving invested funds, property and corporate rights. We work with Ukrainian businesses and international investors. We also assist owners whose property has been frozen in criminal proceedings.
When to engage us
- Invested funds have been misappropriated or used to enrich others unlawfully.
- Property or corporate rights have been transferred without a lawful basis.
- Partners, managers or employees may have engaged in fraud, misappropriation or other misconduct.
- Forged documents or asset-stripping transactions have been discovered.
- A criminal complaint has been filed without an adequate response.
- You need an independent assessment of investment losses and available remedies.
- Unidentified individuals have blocked access to offices or production facilities.
- Assets have been frozen in proceedings whose circumstances are unknown to you.
What we do
Establish the facts and grounds for action.
We review contracts, corporate decisions, payments and other records. We identify potential evidence of criminal conduct, the injured parties and proof of loss. We distinguish possible offending from commercial failure or ordinary breach of contract and establish the basis for any asset freeze.
Represent victims.
We prepare criminal complaints and assist clients in obtaining procedural status and exercising victims’ rights. We submit evidence and applications and participate in investigative steps and court hearings.
Pursue a complete investigation.
We seek examination of material facts, production of records, witness questioning and expert analysis. Where grounds exist, we challenge decisions, actions and failures to act that obstruct the client’s protection.
Identify routes to restoring rights.
We assess asset preservation and recovery, restoration of corporate control and compensation. We coordinate criminal proceedings with available judicial and administrative remedies. Where justified, we challenge registration actions before the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine or the courts. We work to restore access to premises and lift unjustified asset freezes.
How we work
We first identify the client’s priority: stopping further losses, preserving property, restoring control or securing compensation.
We weigh evidence, deadlines, costs and the prospects of each remedy. We agree the sequence of action and explain how it advances the objective.
Filing the complaint is the opening move. It is not the closing report.
Where asset tracing is required, we include it in the overall strategy or agree a separate engagement.
Selected experience
Recovery of real estate valued at more than US$20 million
Representation of the lawful owner of real estate in Kyiv. Following a corporate raid, title had been unlawfully re-registered and the properties transferred to third parties.
Following the representation, the Ministry of Justice’s Anti-Raiding Commission ordered the restoration of property and corporate rights to their lawful owner.
This matter reflects Oleksii Miagkyi’s professional experience before MGKY was established. Client names are withheld. Past results do not guarantee the outcome of another matter.
Getting started
Outline the nature of the violation, its consequences and urgency. Following a conflict check, we agree document transfer, objectives, scope, the head of firm’s involvement and fees.
